My ability to control myself and behave like an adult -- and your inability to do the same -- is no reason for you to dictate the extent or scope of my rights."Archerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09378629103793458871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8544914688307073747.post-54775333306109401152016-04-20T14:27:57.873-05:002016-04-20T14:27:57.873-05:00Moreso that she apparently can't conceive of e...Moreso that she apparently can't conceive of experiencing emotions without letting them rule one's actions.<br /><br />That's an infantile perspective and speaks volumes about the professor's emotional maturity.Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05414687981098467556noreply@blogger.com
